Lyrics:
To not confuse him with Judas who went behind Our Lord's back,
he was listed as Thaddeus and Judas of James in Acts
Present at the Last Supper, where the short question he asked
was one the last answered by Jesus, but beyond that
it's a riddle solved only extrabiblically
Nothing beyond the texts believed to be
written some time in ancient history
As such, his life remains a mystery
A man whose quest no one truly knows
Nevertheless, legend goes as follows
In Edessa, a place along the Euphrates
He was born Lebbaeus, although his name eventually changes
Went on a thousand mile voyage to visit holier places
where he became one of the seventy disciples of Jesus
A baptism by John to Thaddeus
The Spirit had come to manifest
its powers upon the evangelist
who solemnly asked
Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest
thyself unto us and not unto the world?
Those who love me will keep my word, answered Jesus
who was sent by His Father to the world to redeem us
So Jude went out and followed the words of his teacher
and told people to prepare for the return of the Redeemer
Severely afflicted by the leprosy he bore
King Abgar had heard of all the miracles performed
He reached out by writing a letter to the Lord
to offer protection from the elders of the Court
The Lord declined, but sent Thaddeus to the town
So Jude went out to heal the one who wore the crown
By miraculous means the king was finally healed
and all of Mesopotamia believed
He went back to Edessa after Pentecost
Back to profess a Gospel to the lost
An apostle, a man through whose voice God talks
of the work done by His Beloved Son at the cross
Then he headed into Persian territory
Bringing with him Peter's promised crown of never-ending glory
Baptized a princess, filling her father with rage
Commanding both his daughter and the apostle to be slayed
To him who is able to keep you from falling
And present you faultless to the presence of his glory
To the only God our Saviour, be majesty and glory
dominion and power, both now and forever
Amen

I got goosebumps during the line "In Edessa, a place along the Euphrates, he was born Lebbaeus, although his name eventually changes." Although Euphrates stood out the most because the river is drying up, the concept of a new creature in Christ and a new name written in white stone is also drawn out. Amazing!

@@ASecretEnding I have no other artist I'm subscribed to that I get excited for a new song. I'm over metal these days. Until A Secret Ending puts out a new song. Excellent vocals on these new songs. The clean vocals I like too. First EP clean vocals that sounded like Odd Project are my all time fave, but these new ones are a good progression.

[@russellburgan9023]

Another banger! When is the album going to be available?

[@ASecretEnding]

Really happy to hear! Thanks! The whole album will be available December 13th on Spotify and all other streaming platforms 🙌
